Acute Health Effects:

From MSDSROUTES OF EXPOSURE:INHALATION of vapor or spray mist.EYE or SKIN contact with the product, vapor or spray mist.EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSUREEYES: Irritation.SKIN: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation.INHALATION: Irritation of the upper respiratory system. May cause nervous system depression. Extreme overexposure may result in unconsciousness and possibly death. Prolonged overexposure to solvent ingredients may cause adverse effects to the liver, urinary and reproductive systems.SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSUREHeadache, dizziness, nausea, and loss of coordination are indications of excessive exposure to vapors or spray mists.Redness and itching or burning sensation may indicate eye or excessive skin exposure.MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURENone generally recognized.

Chronic Health Effects:

From MSDS SKIN: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation.

Carcinogenicity:

Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Ethylbenzene is classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (2B) based on inadequate evidence in humans and sufficient evidence in laboratory animals. Lifetime inhalation exposure of rats and mice to high ethylbenzene concentrations resulted in increases in certain types of cancer, including kidney tumors in rats and lung and liver tumors in mice. These effects were not observed in animals exposed to lower concentrations. There is no evidence that ethylbenzene causes cancer in humans. Cobalt and cobalt compounds are classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (group 2B) based on experimental animal data, however, there is inadequate evidence in humans for its carcinogenicity. Crystalline Silica (Quartz, Cristobalite) is listed by IARC and NTP. Long term exposure to high levels of silica dust, which can occur only when sanding or abrading the dry film, may cause lung damage (silicosis) and possibly cancer. Carbon Black is classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (group 2B) based on experimental animal data, however, there is insufficient evidence in humans for its carcinogenicity.
